!960s Ron Ely Tarzan Vinyle from Japan (eBay Link) –

If you’re familiar with me, you know I have a fondness for Tarzan figures, especially foreign ones. This Japanese vinyl of Ron (He’ll always be Doc Savage to me) Ely is really exceptional to me. I’ll never own it but I am so happy it exists….

Bootleg Farrah Fawcett Doll (eBay Link)–

Ok, so let’s deal with the elephant in the room, The characters from “Charlie’s Angels” are bending the rules putting it under the umbrella of “Superhero” but Corgi marketed “Kojak” under that banner, so I rest my case. I forgot what I was talking about.

Bootleg Aquaman Doll (eBay Link)–

As you might know, I enjoy knock-off action figures and the sillier, the better. Case in point, The Superfriends, a series of discarded Mego Superhero outfits on the crappiest action figure body ever. Sprinkle in some wonderful artwork and viola, my wallet weeps…

Automan Action Figure (eBay Link) –

As a Gen-X kid, I totally loved all what? 8 episodes of Automan when it aired in the early 1980s. While the show didn’t warrant much merchandise, the UK got a deluge of items including this action figure. Unfortunately, there is no Desi Arnaz Jr. figure to go with it. 

Reb Brown Captain America Movie Poster (eBay Link)–

The Marvel TV movies were sold theatrically in Europe, and these posters always make me smile. As crappy as the first Reb Brown Captain America movie was, I have a real soft spot for part 2 AKA “Death Too Soon.” Not only is Cap in a costume I’d recognize but it has Christopher Lee as the closest thing to the Red Skull we’d see that century. So yeah, not perfect but Reb Brown will always be my Cap, although Chris Evans ain’t no slouch. Just sayin’
